A Vibrant Veggie Boost: Avocado + Radishes + Microgreens + Toasted Seeds
If you crave crunch and color, this one’s for you. Thinly sliced radishes add a peppery snap against the creamy avocado embracing freshly toasted pumpkin or sunflower seeds, which bring a subtle nuttiness and welcome texture contrast. Pile on a handful of peppery microgreens (arugula or watercress work beautifully) for that punch of freshness and vibrant green pop. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt and a few drops of tangy apple cider vinegar or balsamic glaze can round it all out in unexpected, delightful ways. It’s an energizing toast that makes your morning feel lively and bright—think spring on a slice of bread.
